You’re eating well and you’re exercising regularly but you just CAN’T seem to lose weight.

Sound familiar?

Well, I’m here to tell you it’s not all in your head.

And more importantly – it’s NOT your fault.

Because the truth is, over 88% of overweight individuals and more surprisingly, 50% of thin people in the U.S. are what we call “metabolically INflexible”.

Which means there IS actually something stopping the body from burning fat – and even worse, it could be contributing to serious illness.

But it doesn’t have to be this way – and in this episode I explain why.
